Help with [LDAP: error code 34 - invalid DN]

[arjaytigerace]

I am setting up my Alfresco Community Editon 5.2 with LDAP. I used the LDAP settings I found here

https://community.alfresco.com/thread/234780-alfresco-community-52-edition-ldap-ad-configuration

The config posted by @anuradha@1994

But the error on the title keeps popping up. Below is the log file of my Alfresco
